This blog began several years ago as a narrative of our efforts to lead a sustainable and self-sufficient lifestyle in the middle of our city. It still is, although our city has changed from Raleigh to Boise and we now are working diligently on restoring the family homestead in Montana.
The blog is also a chronicle of our lives together as a married couple, marriage being a sort of homesteading in itself.

Limits I say..... You've got to set limits on the things you do, when you can. I don't have a parking pass for the BSU campus so my limit has been set by default. I ride my bike to school, I'm limited from parking a car on campus.

This morning it is cold, bitter cold, and Kate was on her bike early heading to work. The paper said this:

WeatherBoise, IDCurrently 8 degrees F, sunny

Almost makes you want to ride or walk to work doesn't it? Luckily, we live close enough to our daily grind to ride a bike. It really does feel good to do it, and no it's not just a hippie thing!

Jer and I are SO NOT coming to visit you guys in the winter - you'll show us around town on the back of your bikes! I'm all for helping preserve our beautiful world and all..but you guys are just nuts! Set some limits - really its okay.

Came upon your blog by searching for Idaho blogs since I have a blog intended for Idaho-ans. Anyway...I think it's so great that you're riding your bike to get around, even in the freezing cold. More than I can say for myself!
